Whether you are looking to learn a new instrument or if you have been playing for years, you are going to love this model! It is commonly thought that the Appalachian dulcimer was widely used throughout the mountains and hollows of the Appalachian area. But, technically the experts believe that in its heyday and prior to its recent reintroduction to folk music, there were perhaps as few as 1,000 dulcimers throughout the whole region.

There are as many shapes and styles of dulcimers as there are players and mountain craftsmen. Except for adhering to a few basic conventions, the builder was free to explore options and possibilities in the creation of the dulcimer. The Dulcimer is a great sounding folk instrument with a tone similar to a folk guitar using a capo for high tuning. This is made of laminated Spruce.
